Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus TG-630 iHS

Here is a extensive analysis of the Olympus FE-25 versus Olympus TG-630 iHS, one being a Ultracompact and the latter is a Waterproof and both are built by Olympus. The image resolution of the FE-25 (10MP) and the TG-630 iHS (12MP) is relatively similar and both cameras have the same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The FE-25 was manufactured 5 years earlier than the TG-630 iHS and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Olympus TG-630 iHS being a Compact camera.

Before going into a full comparison, here is a simple summation of how the FE-25 scores vs the TG-630 iHS in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus FE-25 and Olympus TG-630 iHS. The entire galleries are provided at Olympus FE-25 Gallery and Olympus TG-630 iHS Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera frequently, you're going to have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Olympus FE-25 provides physical measurements of 93mm x 62mm x 24mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 0.9") and a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs) whilst the Olympus TG-630 iHS has dimensions of 98mm x 66mm x 22mm (3.9" x 2.6" x 0.9") accompanied by a weight of 167 grams (0.37 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have at that time. Below is a front view proportions comparison of the FE-25 compared to the TG-630 iHS.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the FE-25 and TG-630 iHS is 98 and 94 respectively.

More often than not, it is hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizing only by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and TG-630 iHS.

Clearly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Olympus TG-630 iHS to offer you more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
